My colleague and I came in tonight for a pizza and salad. We split a sausage and mushroom thin crust. It was pretty tasty. The salad could have used some extra things like croutons or cucumber, it was almost too simple. The service was quick and the meal was very affordable! They cut the pizza in squares which I am not used to, but l did like it! read more

I'm a huge Monical's fan. Since birth. This was our go-to spot when we attended ISU years ago too. However, the pizza was not good this time. Breadsticks were cold, but still good. Salad was good. Service was great. Will be back, just maybe not this one. read more

Ordered on the way into town and picked it up on the way to the hotel. Service was fast and the food was hot and delicious! Anytime we are in central Illinois, we grab Monical's! This location did not disappoint! read more

Stopped in over the Christmas break. Place was busy but only had to wait 10-15 minutes. Hadn't been to Monicals in years and was surprised it was really good. Probably would rate higher but our server definitely didn't want to be there and was not even attempting to be pleasant read more

Ordered take out pizza and ate it while at the nearby Tesla charger. A nice thin crust, good sauce, perfect amount of cheese, and the meats are beautifully spiced. The order process was easy as was the pick up process. The restaurant looked cozy and neat. read more

First time coming here! Ordered a 14" deluxe pizza and split it between two of us. It was more than enough! We had to take some home. The pizza was filled with a generous serving of toppings and was flavorful in every bite. I really enjoyed the crispyness of the crust. The staff was also extremely friendly. read more

I was told by some friends that this was the place to grab a pizza. I went here with a buddy and split a large deluxe pizza which comes with a large assortment of toppings. Super yummy extra thin and extra crispy is how these folks do it! The pleaser is an amazing deal which allows you to add side salads and drinks for only a couple dollars more. So of course we had to! The pizza is great, service is pleasant, and the monical's dressing is the best pizza dipping sauce there is! read more

71.00 for two 14" thin pizzas (one with one topping, 1 with 3 toppings), family salad, 2 sodas, 5 breadsticks. Waaaay overpriced! Note: Three people. That's as much as a small filet/salad bar with potato and bread at Alexander's down the road. read more

Wanted to try another pizza place in town. This is in the shopping center with Best Buy and LA Fitness. Got a pan pizza and it was ready quicker than the 25 minutes they gave. It looked and smelled delicious. Taste was ok. I wasn't impressed with the crust, and it wasn't as filling as a usual pan pizza. It was more expensive than other places too. Definitely better than your Papa John's and Dominos, but there are many other better options around Bloomington. Staff were friendly. read more

Delivered pizza is good. Delivered, good pie even rewarmed, use a microwave to reheat.

The girl at the counter just handed my food out to the wrong person. That person left the store with my food. He returned a couple minutes later with my pizza. The girl then wander back to the kitchen with my pizza. She then gave me the exact same pizza. I even asked her and said it was the same pizza. I'm so grossed out and pissed off. Anybody want a cold pizza that's been handled by random people? read more

Pizza was very good and we were very impressed that it was still hot when delivered by a very pleasant young man.

The food was so good we had to eat a piece before we took the picture it came super fast and delivery person was so nice five stars read more

Decided to change it up and order pizza from some place else. So glad we did. Ordered online. Got my traditional favorite of thin crust pepperoni pizza and buffalo wings. The husband decided on a supreme. They online order process was quick and easy. It stated our order would be here in 60min but arrived in less than 30 min. The delivery guy was clean and professional. The food was properly packaged. Hot and delicious!! Fairly priced. We will definitely be ordering from there again. read more

Nice enough place. A little pricier than the website suggested. Pizza was better than a few others in town but it isn't in my top 3. It was me attempting a new place. It was convenient to my location. Called in order and pizza look good and had a good amount of toppings. Not bad at all just not making itself competition for my favorites. read more

I am absolutely stunned. We are traveling on the interstate and wanted to order a pizza ahead of time. I called this restaurant. A young lady named Kelly answered the phone and proceeded to tell me that they were too busy to take an order. I thought that I mis-heard her. I said, "Pardon me. Did you say you are too busy to take an order." She said, that's right. We are backed up. Obviously this restaurant is too busy and they would prefer that you don't order a pizza from them. read more

The food was amazing! Salad was great, pizza was even better! I received great service and the overall atmosphere was peaceful.

We went to get a carryout last night. There was a coupon for 14" pizza for $16. We got 2 and the young man who helped me was very efficient. I went to the store and came for the pizzas. Didn't think the total was right but I trust most people. This morning when I looked at the receipt. I was charged for $36.50 for 2 pizzas. I thought it is best to call when the restaurant is not busy. Called around 2 and the person who and the phone did not give me his name. I asked for a manager, he said he was. I went on to explain to him the nature of my call. Right the way he questioned how I was overcharged. So I explained to him that I ordered 2x $16 pizza with the coupon, it should be $32 +tax. He kept accusing me of getting 2 large pizzas and that was how much it would be. I pointed out the fact that the receipt said 14" which that is what the coupon for. I have the feeling that they do that all the time so he knows what to say to the customers. It is a shame that people are so dishonest and blatantly discriminate people who have English as a second language. I consider myself that I speak English well but I do have an accent. By the way the pizzas were delicious! Too bad that good restaurant have bad management. I am sure that there are plenty of other restrictions who appreciate my business and I definitely will not go there again! Just to warn anyone who still want to go there after reading my review, you are at your own risk for getting overcharged! read more

This place was absolutely trash of a spot. Food was cold, mozzarella sticks weren't even cooked! I MEAN RAW CHEESE!! The pizza is mediocre and if you think about getting Monica's save yourself the energy and go to jewel to get frozen pizzas instead. This place is not it!!!! read more

As always - fabulous! We order pizza a lot and Monical's thin crispy crust never disappoints

I've been craving Monicals since I moved to Arizona. I just flew home from school and had a personal pleaser delivered to my house. I received updates on my order as soon as I put it in. And it was out for delivery within 20 minutes. I received everything perfectly done. read more

2/27/15: My experiences here have included really good pizza and good customer service. I will be back for sure!!!! 9/22/17: My daughter and I ate here last night. The customer service was outstanding. The server continually checked to see if we needed anything and was sure our drinks remained full. Daughter and I ordered the 10 inch thin crust pepperoni pizza and we also ordered breadsticks. The food was fresh and tasted great. Nice amount of sauce, cheese, and pepperonis. No complaints at all. We arrived shortly after 5pm and beat the dinner rush. No wait at all. Seated immediately. Very happy with this experience. I will be back! read more

It has been 10 years since visiting this place. I ordered a sandwich there last week. It was awful! The bread was stale and there was so much lunch meat on it, I could not close the open hogue. I also ordered an unsweetened iced tea..that was horrible! It tasted like instant tea with bad tasting water. I took 2 bites of the sandwich and two sips of tea before throwing both away! Icky! read more

I have tried. I have. FOR NINE YEARS... to love your pizza. My honesty puts me at risk for being blacklisted in #blono. I have tried it with you "special sauce" aka salad dressing. I have used shaker cheese (technical term). I have tried multiple topping combinations. - Your service has been great. - I have no complaints about your successful efforts to keep my Pepsi filled to the brim. - Your pepperolies rock. Addicting.And the ranch dressing is creamy and fattening as it should be. - But your salads used to be awesome then you went to that shredded crap. If you return to real lettuce I will up your rating to a 3. To my fellow Chicagoans: You do not go here because you love it. You go here because you love someone else and that is the way it should be. I need to clarify. There is nothing specific that is wrong with their pizza. As far as thin crust goes it is standard. And as the Yelp! rating engine says... 2 stars = "Meh. I've experienced better." And indeed I have. To my fellow #blono residents: I do not mean to belittle your love for monical's. I can honestly say I have not had a bad meal, and that when i go I do enjoy it. But the Bottom line______________ I do not crave it. Ever. I never suggest it. I only cave because my husband has such an emotional attachment to this place. When I want pizza... i want chicago style deep dish and I go to Rosati's. (Though rumor has it Giordano's is coming!) When i want thin crust I go to Tobin's. Keepin' it local and lovin' the meatlovers. P.S. This will sound funny but the quality and service are vastly different at each location in Bloomington/Normal. Despite my 2 rating, this one is the best. read more

Wow, this pizza is amazing. This crust is out of the world. Light and crispy and perfect. The sauce is awesome. Amount of pizza toppings is LEGIT. The salad is fresh, and simple. Sometimes simple is better. But you top off the simple with their house dressing and you have the best salad in the world. I like to mix the creamy italian with the house red dressing. You will not be disappointed. I guarantee this. Service is always great. Prices aren't gonna leave you homeless. read more

Not my first rodeo. I've been to all of the Monical's Pizzas in the Bloomington-Normal area. This is my 2nd favorite. Top honors go to the one on Eldorado. It always seem to have best quality food. Tonight we got a large (16") 2-topping pizza, regular order of bread sticks (5) and 1 beer. Sad to say, beer selection is very limited. They only have about 5 kinds (bottles) and none blew me away. Even less on tap. Food came out very fast and usually does. This is one reason we like Monical's so much...we can bring our 2-year old! Sooner the food comes out, the better. I'm sure some of you can relate. Despite the fast turn-around time, the food was delicious. Not over-cooked, not doughy. I really like the flavor of Monical's pizza. Slight char, very thin crust cut into tiny squares. Only draw back is that with those tiny pieces, I"m inclined to eat waaaaay more than I should. But that's a "me" problem, not Monical's. Total cost came out around $28 (before tip). A large pizza with just cheese will run you about $18. Monical's is not the cheapest joint in town, but I often feel I get what I pay for. It's the closest thing (flavor wise) to a good brick oven pizza I've found in the area. Not many of those around. So until that day comes, Monical's has my vote (and much of my business). read more

Oohh yeahh!! The first to review!!! I couldn't be happier to be reviewing my favorite pizza in the entire world, Monical's! This was the first location that I ever tried this amazing pizza, and in my opinion it is the coolest. There is a faux tree in the middle of athe seating area, and there are two large dining area's. I enjoy sitting in the booths in the south dining area because there are cool looking canopy's over them. The decor has nicknack's on the wall so you always have something to look at and discuss. This Monical's is always busy in the evening's espicially the weekends. If you have never tried Monicals pizza, its awesome. I love the paper thin crust. The family pleaser is a great value, it comes with a Large pizza, huge salad and a 2 liter of soda. I also love Monical's breadsticks, and for the over 21 crowd, they serve beer!!! I live in Chicago where the Za is plentiful, but will never compare to my hometown Monical's..in fact I get it everytime I go home. Do yourself a favor and try it!! read more

Without a doubt Monical's has the best thin crust pizza in the world! And not only is it great tasting, my Weight Watcher's person say that the individual pleaser cheese pizza is only 11 points which is very good. I understand that the secret to a great pizza is its crust. Monicals crust is made using a secret family recipe that requires that it cure overnight before it can be made into pizza. At our house it is understood that every Friday night we are going to Monical's Pizza and then go to a movie. The only exception is if we vary the movie night then we'll go to Monical's on that night. The restaurant has been remodled and they have added a whole selection of Italian food which I understand is great but we just go there for the Pizza. As part of the remodeling, the faux tree was removed but the rest of the atmosphere is as described by Ryan D. And in addition their place mat has activities for adults and kids to help pass the time. I have been to New Haven, CT at some of the "real Italian" Pizza places and which claim to have the best pizza. In my mind they don't even come close to Monicals. First they are thin crust but flimsy while Monicals crust is crisp throughout. But more importantly the New Haven Pizza is greasy (and probably not all that good for you) while Monicals Pizza is never greasy. They even have a heart healty pizza and special crusts for people with allergies. I'm not familiar with them but I can attest to their fresh salad being great. And they have their own house french dressing (regular or light) which is so good that they sell it in bottles to go if you want. If you get lucky enough to get one of their surveys, don't throw it away because they reward you with a free individual pleaser for giving your opinion. read more

We ordered delivery and the pizza wasnt what we ordered. We called to let them know and they had a fresh one to us within 20 minutes even though they were busy. It's was delicious! That's great customer service! read more

Monical's has been our favorite pizza to order when we have visited my grandparents out in Central Illinois for many years. I just went a few weeks ago for the first time in awhile and had a great experience. They have consistently awesome thin crust pizza. We ate in the restaurant with my Grandma for her birthday. I will say that the dessert pizza is not worth it though nor are their pizzas with more adventurous toppings. Stick with the pepperoni (make sure it is thin crust) and you will be plenty pleased with this place. read more

Ordered carryout from this Monicals - two pizzas and an order of wings. The good: pizza, as always. Best thin crust pizza in town, no contest. I'd give the pizza 5 stars every time. It was also ready on time for my order. The bad: wings and service. The wings were very, very small, and were pretty soggy. You could get better wings frozen from the grocery store, or at about any other place in town - one star. The service was pretty lackluster overall as well. The guy at the register when I picked my food up looked like I was bothering him more than anything. Another guy in a nicer uniform (manager I assume?) actually got my food, and he was no better. However, the food was ready on time and the order was correct, so they get a couple stars for that. Mediocre experience overall. read more

Their thin crust pizza is fantastic. My roommates and I are trying to eat at every pizza place in Bloomington-Normal and this is top 5 so far! Cheese tastes fresh, sauce had great taste, and the dough is the prefect ratio with the sauce and cheese. read more

I grew up with Monical's Pizza in much the same way that the online baby chain smoker sensation grew up with cigarettes. I was addicted from birth and have always craved it since. I used to live in Bloomington and frequented this establishment often, so I guess you could say that I'm a regular. Not regular enough to go in and order the "usual", but they know me....maybe. First I will say that you really can't go wrong with Monicals pizza. All of their toppings are high quality, there is no thin crust pizza that matches in overall taste, and the entire Family Pleaser well, let's just say it lives up to its name. They changed their image and added menu items a few years back, and it was all for the better. Their pastas are incredibly good (I've had the baked ravioli on more than one occasion) and the Pepperollis are something you NEED to get as an appetizer (along with salad and breadsticks of course.) This particular Monicals is on the highest end of customer service. It does get a little crowded on the weekends, but definitely worth the wait. Oh, and a little tip that only people that grew up with Monicals know about: put their homemade French dressing on your pizza. Trust me. It's like adding cake, brownies, sugar, butter, frosting and magic to your ice cream. And that's not even a good comparison. read more

$50 for 2 thin crust pizza with little flavor. Maybe I order something different than the rest of the reviewers here but we've had better frozen pizza, very disappointing. read more

Always prefer dining in at Monical's, but have been getting delivery 1-2x/month since March. Service has been great- always delivered in 45 minutes (or less), hot pizza with the correct toppings, and extras never missing (cup of French with my pizza is a must). I'm a Monical's lover and always will be. read more

Have been going to this Monicals for years with no complaints, always great service and food. Tonight we ordered carry-out only about an hour before their closing. We thought we saw the breadsticks we had ordered in the bag before we left but realized they hadn't been included once we got home. When we called Monicals (right at their closing time at this point), they immediately offered to deliver our breadsticks to our home. Really appreciated! We continue to be impressed; keep up the good work! read more

The day we moved in, we ordered takeout from here. They forgot part of our order and I called to let them know. The girl answering was confused and it took her awhile, but the manager got involved and ended up sending me coupons and a formal apology letter. I was blown away! Who does that anymore? The pizza was good, too! read more

Best pizza in town! The Veterans Parkway location is the one to go to. The pizza is always great with consistently solid service.

Excellent food as usual. It's my favorite pizza. The women's bathroom was incredibly clean!!!
